This section contains a plot summary of Bruno's point of view from each story arc.
Bruno was at his house when his cousin Harold knocked on the door. Harold explained to Bruno about Stella Lily's self-portrait being stolen. Bruno agreed to go with Harold, Stella Lily, and Lyla to Lizi Woods. Upon arrival, the party decided to eat noodles at a nearby food vendor. After eating, Harold said he and Bruno will look around for information while Stella Lily and Lyla find an inn. Bruno and Harold go to a nearby store to see if it sells silk. Harold learned that the largest building in the woods sells silk. With this information, he and Harold go to the large building that sells silk. He stays outside while Harold goes inside. Harold eventually came back out and talked to Bruno about his findings. As he and Harold were talking, a young man with jade-colored eyes walked past and then went back inside the building. Harold went to look for a fancy restaurant while Bruno followed the jade-eyes young man. He followed the young man while avoiding detection. The young man went into a cottage. Bruno waited but nothing happened. He decided to knock on the door of the cottage and a shirtless guy opened the door. The shirtless guy seemed to be expecting Bruno. Bruno and the shirtless engaged in a fight with the shirtless guy transforming into a Dragon. Despite being at a disadvantage, Bruno ended up winning. After the fight, Bruno questioned the shirtless guy whose name is Chen. Both realized that the jade-eyed young man was no longer in the cottage. Chen hesitantly told Bruno about a restaurant with a turquoise roof. Bruno went to the restaurant to eat since he was hungry from the fight. A waitress noticed that Bruno looks like an earlier customer. Bruno knew this earlier customer must have been Harold. He finished his meal and began to walk around until he saw Harold with Mei. Along the way, they were joined by Stella Lily and Lyla. Harold explained the situation to his friends. Upon arriving at the large building with Harold, Stella Lily, Lyla, and Mei. Mei led them into a large room. The party discovered that the self-portrait was stolen. Afterwards, Fen (who was the Rabbit from earlier) barged into the room and panicked when he saw Stella Lily and Lyla. Bruno and Harold deduced that the young man with jade-colored eyes had tricked Mei into stealing Stella Lily's self-portrait and had taken the self-portrait for himself. Harold stated they will go to the beach to find the jade-eyed young man when Stella Lily asked him what to do next. At night, he and Harold slept in the same room while Stella Lily and Lyla slept together in another room. In the morning, he and his friends bade farewell to Mei and made their way southwest to the beach. Unbeknownst to everyone, they were being followed by Fen.
Bruno arrived in Boluo along with Harold, Stella Lily, and Lyla. He and Harold went to get something to eat while Stella and Lyla play in the beach. When Stella and Lyla went to the beach water, Bruno was confused thinking the girls were going to swim with their clothes on. Harold was expecting to see Stella in a bathing suite, but she didn't even go swimming. Bruno chuckled at this. Standing next to Harold, Bruno looked for a food vendor. He saw a vendor selling grilled shrimp with grilled pineapple and rice. This was his first time eating grilled pineapple and rice. The vendor was able to tell that Bruno wasn't around here because he had to ask what pineapples were. Despite this, he bought four plates in total. One for himself and one for each of his friends. As he was about to give a plate to Lyla, a young man wearing a white tank top, brown shorts, and sandals bumped into him. Bruno turned to see who it was, but the young man had ran away already. Lyla asked Bruno for name of the fruit, and he replied saying that the vendor called it pineapple. After finishing their food, Harold began to explain the plan, and Bruno listened. Harold believes that jade-eyed young man knew that Bruno was following him. Harold suggested that he and Bruno go look for information on the jade-eyed young man while Stella and Lyla go play in the beach. Bruno quietly chuckled at Harold because Harold won't be able to see Stella in a bathing suite. Bruno went to an open bar with Harold. As he stepped into the open bar, a young man bumped into him and ran away before Bruno had a chance to see who it was. At the open bar, Harold said there wasn't much customer service here, and Bruno asked him what he meant. Harold responded saying no one their order yet. At this time, Bruno watched Harold go to the bartender to try to gather information. While watching Harold, a tanned dude confront Harold about something. Bruno didn't know what the tanned dude wanted, but the tanned dude pushed Harold. This led to a fight which Harold easily won. Bruno had confidence that Harold would win, so he didn't get involved. Harold apologized to the bartender, and started to walk out with Bruno. On their way out, they overheard the tanned dude said Kang warned him about these people. Bruno and Harold were curious as to who Kang was, and what did Kang said to the tanned dude and the bartender. During the fight, Bruno learned the tanned dude is named Chang, and the bartender is named Ming, and they are siblings. Bruno left the open bar with Harold to go look for Stella and Lyla. Harold wondered where Stella and Lyla might be at, and Bruno responded saying he last saw them playing in the beach water. With this in mind, Harold told Bruno to follow Chang and Ming to find out where they live. He made his way back to the open bar. He saw Chang and Ming walking home, so he followed them without being seen. During the surveillance, Bruno heard Chang telling Ming that Fen from Lizi Woods told Kang that he was attacked by light-skinned foreigners, then Kang told Chang, and Chang believes Bruno and his friends are those foreigners. Bruno followed Chang and Ming to their home which is a house with an orange door. With this knowledge, he asked a local for an inn and headed to the inn. He made it to the inn, entered the lobby and saw Harold waiting for him. Harold led him to Stella's and Lyla's room, and began to explain what he had found out. After the explanation, he and the group decided to go outside to have something to eat before going to sleep. Outside the inn, the group ordered four plates of grilled fish and grilled pineapple. While eating Lyla noticed someone was watching them, Bruno and Harold turned to see who it was, but the watcher was gone. The group went to sleep afterwards. The following morning, Bruno and Harold woke up early and then headed to Chang's and Ming's home. Within a block of the house with an orange door, Bruno watched as Harold sneaked around the house to determine if anyone were in there. Harold eventually gave the signal to Bruno that someone was inside the house. Harold suggested that he wait outside the house until someone leaves. In the meantime, Bruno went to get breakfast for them both. He went to look for a food vendor, and within a few minutes, he found a vendor selling grilled squid with chili. The vendor mentioned that Bruno was too white to be around here which Bruno ignored and ordered two squids. After ordering the food, he started to go back to Harold, but noticed someone was following him. In order to be sure, he made several turns and the follower still followed him. Bruno decided to confront the follower which led to a fight. The follower transformed into a Goat. Bruno defeated the Goat despite being at a disadvantage since the Goat has Earth Midrash, and Bruno has Water Midrash. Beaten up, the Goat decided to run away from Bruno. Irritated because the Goat caused Bruno to drop his breakfast onto the ground, Bruno followed the Goat to continue the beating. While following the Goat, Bruno ran into Stella and Lyla who decided to skip breakfast to follow Bruno to see the drama unfold. Following the Goat led to Chang and Ming in front of their house and Harold trying to avoid detection from the siblings. The Goat ran to Chang and Ming and blamed Bruno for being beaten up. This led to a fight between Harold defeating Chang who had transformed into a Snake, and Stella and Lyla defeating Ming who had transformed into a Horse. After the fight, it was revealed that the Goat is Kang. Bruno listened as Harold questioned Chang, Ming, and Kang. Apparently, Fen lied to Kang about being attacked by foreigners for no reason. Harold learned that the jade-eyed young man went northwest to a farm. Later at the inn, Stella and Harold decided to head to the farm immediately.
Bruno arrived at Shizi Farm along with Harold, Stella Lily, and Lyla. The group looked around and Stella asked Harold where will they sleep. Bruno knew why Stella was asking this because there were only three houses and no inn. Harold decided they will go north of the farm to a nearby river to camp. At the campsite, Bruno set up tents and started a campfire while Harold, Stella, and Lyla go the nearby river to fish. After getting everything set up, Harold returned with Stella and Lyla along with a local fish which Stella called a catfish. Bruno grilled the catfish for Stella and Lyla while Harold go back to the nearby river to catch two more fish. Harold eventually returned, but with only one fish instead of two. Harold whispered to Bruno that they will talk after Stella and Lyla go to sleep. Stella and Lyla went to sleep. Harold informed Bruno that he was attacked by a white Dog and they will need to travel as a group to avoid any potential enemies. Bruno and Harold took turn sleeping and staying up to stand guard. In the morning, Bruno woke up along with Harold. The group went to the nearby river together to fish for breakfast. After eating, they went to the farm. Harold decided to knock on a nearby house. When everyone was in front of a house with a gold-colored door, a Metal Spellbomb was thrown by a Monkey from the rooftop. Bruno dodged it along with everyone else. Bruno was told by Harold to go to the back of the house with Lyla, and then knock the Monkey down to the ground. Harold and Stella will distract the Monkey in the meantime. Bruno and Lyla went to the back of the house. Lyla jumped onto Bruno's shoulders to boost herself onto the roof. He waited while Lyla try to knock the Monkey down from the roof. Getting inpatient, Bruno shouted at the Monkey to distract it. The distraction was used by Lyla to knock the Monkey onto the ground. Bruno told Lyla to tell Harold and Stella, and then started to fight the Monkey one on one. The fight ended with Bruno as the winner. The Monkey began to transform back into its human form. Harold and Stella met up with Bruno and Lyla. Harold suggested that Bruno carry the young man to a nearby tree to avoid being seen by potential enemy. After doing so, the young man woke up and said his name is Jin when Harold questioned him. Bruno stood guard as Harold questioned Jin. Stella and Lyla listened. Jin revealed that he attacked Bruno and his friends because a young man with jade-colored eyes told him two foreigners will come to steal his girlfriend. Jin assumed Bruno and Harold are these foreigners. The jade-eyes young man is referred to as the Jade Cat by Jin due to his Midrash being jade in color. Jin also revealed the Chicken that Harold and Stella had fought earlier is his girlfriend named Yan. The white Dog that Harold fought last night is named Yong and is Jin's competitor. After the questioning, Jin invited Bruno and his friends to Yan's house to clear the misunderstanding. Upon entering Yan's house, Jin went to look for her while Bruno and his friends wait in the living room. Yan came in and threw a cup at Harold and accused Stella and Lyla of stealing her boyfriend. Jin came to the living room and helped clear the misunderstanding. Yan went back to nap. Jin invited the group to eat. Harold asked if Jin has any idea where the Jade Cat might had went to, and Jin answered it might be Putao Mountain. After eating, Bruno and his friends went back to the campsite, packed up, and left to Putao Mountain.
Bruno arrived in Putao Mountain along with Harold, Stella Lily, and Lyla at midnight. They slept at an inn. In the morning, everyone had breakfast at a local restaurant. Harold said it was okay for Stella and Lyla to hang out while he and Bruno gather information. Two young men walked into the restaurant for breakfast. Harold decided to follow one of them after hearing their conversation. Bruno followed the other young man. During the surveillance, Bruno followed the young man to a hot spring and discovered that his name is Lan. After the hot spring, Lan saw a white Wolf ran down from the top of the mountain. Bruno saw Stella and Lyla while the white Wolf ran down the mountain. Meeting up with Stella and Lyla, Bruno led the girls to find Harold. Everyone went back to the inn while avoiding Lan and the other young man whose name is Zhong. Back at the inn, Zhong and Lan knocked on the door and Stella answered. Stella answered their question while Bruno and Harold hid to avoid them. Harold decided that he and Bruno will follow Zhong and Lan. Bruno and Harold went to the clothing store and then to the top of the mountain. At the top, the Jade Cat was seen walking out of the house. Bruno and Harold were surprised to see the Jade Cat and were attacked by his Spellbomb. During the Spellbomb explosion, Zhong and Lan joined to fight. The battles between Bruno versus Lan and Harold versus Zhong begun. During the battles, Shun began to fight against Stella and Lyla. The battles ended with Bruno, Harold, Stella, and Lyla winning their respective fight. Harold explained the situation regarding the Jade Cat. Shun had calmed down and invited everyone to her home. Harold learned that the Jade Cat lives in Longyan Town. After eating lunch, Bruno and his friends head for Longyan Town.
Bruno arrived in Longyan Town from the northern gate along with Harold, Stella Lily, and Lyla. The guard touched Bruno when they went through security. Everyone went to the central district to get to the western district. In this district, they visited a restaurant for breakfast. After this, everyone checked in at an inn. Harold suggested that Stella and Lyla hang out while he and Bruno try to find the Jade Cat. With the girls gone, Harold told Bruno about the note from a little boy at the restaurant. The plan now is to find the pursuer who wrote the note. To flush out the pursuer, Bruno will follow Harold who will follow Stella and Lyla. The surveillance led to a theater where they watched a play. Harold concluded that the pursuer must be following Bruno. Bruno and Harold then used their skills to find the pursuer. They noticed a shaved-head guy was following Bruno, so he must be the pursuer. Harold decided to lure the pursuer to the northern residential district. At this district, the puruser tried to sneak attack Bruno, but was stopped by Harold. Bruno defeated the pursuer in a fight. The pursuer was Yong from Dusk Harvest. Yong answered Harold's questions by saying he didn't write the note, and the Jade Cat's uncle is the mayor of the town. With this information, Bruno and Harold went to the central district where the mayor's mansion is located. In front of the mansion, they were confronted by Yuze who is the mayor's assistant. The Jade Cat showed up and attacked Harold. This led to a fight between Bruno versus Yuze and another one with Harold versus the Jade Cat whose real name was revealed to be Haoran. The fights ended up with Bruno and Harold defeating their respective opponents. After the fights, everyone went inside the mansion with the mayor still unconscious. Bruno listened as Harold questioned Haoran and Yuze. The need to steal Stella's painting was to sell it to finance the town. Yuze went to get Stella's painting for her. With her painting retrieved, Bruno and his friends left Longyan Town and returned to Stella' hometown. At her house, Bruno ate dinner along with Stella, her twin sister, her mom, Harold, and Lyla. While eating, Bruno and Harold wondered what they will do in the future. Bruno, Harold, and Lyla returned home to Thistle Village after saying goodbye to Stella and her family.
